I have never felt so accepted and welcomed in a fitness/dance company. The instructions are AMAZING and always want you wanting more and you’re having so much fun you don’t even notice the time. PDF has changed my life in so many ways. I’m so glad I found them and they accept me here.

Ive been attending Philly Dance Fitness classes since 2013--its my main form of exercise and I cannot recommend them enough. The classes themselves are great (I highly recommend Dance Party Boot Camp, which is a good mix of fun dancing and challenging exercise). But there is absolutely no pressure--so if you want to try something youve never done before, or just dont have as much energy one day--you do YOU and dont feel like you have to perform/ be good at anything. I had previously tried Koresh and didnt like how performative it was--this is a much more relaxed and friendly vibe. As one of my fav instructors says, as long as youre having fun and being safe, youre doing it right. The instructors are all super nice and over the years Ive made some great friends. (So dont be shy about introducing yourself if youre new to a class!). Last but not least, I love that its a small, woman owned business. And you really do get a personalized touch when interacting with the business. Any time Ive had issues, or if need to pause my membership, theyve been super understanding, accommodating, and quick to respond. (Unlike pretty much every other gym membership Ive ever had, ha). If youre on the fence, I highly recommend!

So many great dance choices @Philly Dance Fitness! I’ve been dancing with them virtually during pandemic and loving the variety: hip hop, cardio, Bollywood and more. And they offer shorter “Express” classes as another great option 😊. The instructors all make the dance experience fun fun fun and I highly recommend Philly Dance Fitness.

PhillyDanceFitness worked with me to plan my schools Back2School Event! Zumba started off slow, but as people started dancing others kept joining in and loved it. Deborah was amazing and kept the energy going through the whole event. The administrators also loved how COVID safe it was! I will definitely keep PhillyDanceFitness in mind next time I plan a big campus-wide event!

I started dancing with PDF in Nov 2019 and I absolutely love the classes! I dont like working out unless Im having fun and this definitely fits that description! The instructors have great choreography and energy and there is a mix of lower and higher energy classes. I appreciate that most all instructors focus on safety, often saying dancers should adjust and do what feels good for their body.I especially appreciate that PDF has moved to online classes during the pandemic. In the last few stressful weeks, its been one of the few things that make me feel better and make my routine seem more normal. Dancing has always been one of the times when I completely focus and clear my head of all worries, stresses, and anything else except focusing on the music and moves. This has been so valuable, especially recently.

I used to attend -and love - PDF live classes, but recently I hadnt been able to make it very often. Now thats were all shut at home, I have been absolutely relying on the new virtual classes - partly for exercise, but largely for the huge mood boost! Being able to come back to PDF for the virtual and recorded classes has been WONDERFUL. And Im having a great time going to classes I had never tried before. The recorded version of Lehlas African Caribbean class was exactly what I needed tonight, and she is so great - as are Deborah, the owner, and the other instructors. I just signed up for the monthly subscription, and I was very happy to see that the virtual offerings will continue as long as we keep using them. Thank you, Philly Dance Fitness!

Ive been going to PDF for about three years now, and I love it. Its made working out and getting in shape so much more fun. There are a wide variety of classes to try, and it seems like they are always offering a new class or workshop which keeps things interesting.

If you want to get in shape, learn dance moves and overall have a fun time doing it, you should try one of the Cardo Pop classes held at Philly Dance Fitness. My co-worker and I go during our lunch hour and we have a blast. Its a great way to feel good in the middle of the week and work day. I love it! Thanks Deb and Lisa!! Bang to Bang Bang!

I enjoy classes here. However, they dont care customers. I had a situation about suspension with Philly Dance Fitness. I requested one month suspension, but since miscommunication it didnt go well. Even though I didnt take even 1 class there last month, they let me pay full 1 month membership. Since I thought it is not fair to pay full one month, I told them many times to get refund of one month. They just told me about strict rules they keep over and over.I am so disappointed with their decision. If they believed one-year contract memberships are important, they would not treat customers like this.

Review №13

Although I enjoy the classes. They are very strict with certain policies and contracts that I never signed. They email you generalized emails instead of speaking on the phone. Ive called 3 times and no response. They make it extremely difficult to cancel a membership due to a very important urgent circumstance. Im very disappointed. They want me to pay over 500 dollars to cancel early. Ridiculous.

I have taken a couple of different classes at PDF since getting back into dance (as an adult) and have always left class feeling awesome. I am pretty rusty and am by no means at the top of the class when it comes to skill level but I always have an amazing time and am learning every step of the way. I 100% recommend classes at PDF to anyone looking to get back into dace after a long hiatus or even to take a dance class for the first time! I cant wait to try out some new classes in the weeks and months to come.

Philly Dance Fitness is awesome. It is really the only place that offers workout classes via dance. I love the instructors and my absolute favorite instructors are Michelle (dance bootcamp and cardio dance - her Friday class is just the BEST!) and Sidney (Zumba - Sidney is the sweetest, funnest and just all around great! On Wednesdays I couldnt wait to go to her Zumba class). I only wish they would offer more Zumba classes in the evenings (5:30pm time-slot). When I went there there was only one 5:30pm Zumba class offered a week (on Wednesdays). If they would add more Zumba classes it would be perfect! But all in all, its a great place and the people are just so supportive and super-friendly. I left because I had to move away. However, I am about to return to Philly and will definitely sign up again.

I am having an absolute ball dancing up a storm at Philly Dance Fitness. Philly Dance Fitness offers classes for all lovers of dance and intensive exercise. Their highly skilled and trained instructors change up routines and playlists frequently so students don’t get bored doing the same routine. Philly Dance Fitness offers classes such as Zumba, Barre Fit, Dance Party Bootcamp, African Dance Revolution, Ballet and Bollywood. The large variety of classes ensures that there is something for everyone. The workshops and Frisky Fridays are incredibly fun and allow people to really explore different dance techniques. Philly Dance Fitness has improved my stamina and given me physical strength. Thanks Philly Dance Fitness for the complete life change!

I stumbled upon Philly Dance Fitness about 5 years ago.... and boy am I glad I did. I joined to take Zumba classes, and was surprised at how many different types of workout classes PDF offered. I have never been a huge gym person and I really didn’t think I could be so dedicated to working out. But I was and I was motivated, to go to a class after working all day instead of going home and sitting on the couch. I actually looked forward to working out, finally! All of the classes are easy to follow and so much fun. You just have to be willing to try new things and push yourself a little. I never would of thought dancing Zumba would evolve into me pushing myself to take boot camp and loving it!I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to dance with all of the amazing instructors and members of PDF. I immediately felt like a part of the PDF family from the very beginning...all of the instructors and members are so welcoming! If you are looking for a super fun and welcoming work out environment join PDF. You will NOT be disappointed.Thank you PDF for making my workouts so fun for all these years!
